"is it safe?"........ in my opinion that depends mostly on a quality holster and a personal commitment to train, but I believe that applies to all modes of carry. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

Let me know about the production quality of the video guys!....Thanks!   -Fitty%   https://youtu.be/ReUq61aOB90

If your gun is going off when holstered, you should replace it.   Your carry gun should only fire when the trigger is pulled.  A few guns can go off without this, those are not safe to carry and usually involve antiques, home-grown-gunsmithing, worn out weapons, or other similar things none of which are safe to carry loaded in any way whatsoever.     If you gun does not fire when holstered,  you should be fine no matter what part of your body (and everyone else's) it sweeps while being worn.  I pocket carry... when I sit down, the muzzle points at other people in some places.   Its almost impossible not to have the business end point at someone (include yourself) sometimes if you are moving around being a human.   Bend over too far IWB and there it  is, near horizontal to the ground... pointing at who knows what.  Life happens.   So that means it is your responsibility to ensure the gun can't fire when holstered and in its carry location on your body.   This means working it out... practice draw / fire / reholster.   Impact test it.  Unload it and prove to yourself that it is safe.  IMHO that should be done for every gun, every holster, every change in location, etc.    You gotta know its safe.

Who knows what their motivations are.  Could be a rehearsal, could be a reconnaissance for others or general planning, or it could just be to jackasses being jackasses.  Arab kids are as immature, and prone to do dumb things as much as American kids.  The act itself certainly justifies a very thorough investigation by TBI, or even the FBI to see if there is a plan for a larger shooting, or they have any connections to something.       I had a Saudi in one of my classes last summer.  He was a smart, polite, and very well reasoned individual.  But we butted heads when discussing the Kafala System used for migrant labor when it came up in class for some reason.  He felt it was completely justified and things like the employee holding the workers passport, their work conditions, and other things that we look at as deplorable were just part of the process needed to keep their economy going.  I'd imagine it would be similar to how a slave holder might feel in America circa 1850.   A lot of these foreign students are just here for the classes and will go back home after getting a degree, not the children of immigrants who came to America to put down roots.  So, they have a lot of the home country mentalities.  As it pertains to Arab's, I've found the females are easier to socialize with as their perspectives are being opened being outside of the male dominated home, versus the males who are finding themselves in a position of having their perspectives challenged and tend to get defensive over it.

I've been carrying a pistol AIWB in a Dale Fricke Archangel since 2011ish. No issues here. Driving a car, having a surgery, taking the stairs, and AIWB carry are all safe. They each have risks that need to be addressed individually. Train more and you will be GTG.

I have certain unalienable rights endowed by The Creator!  Unfortunately, through time others do not recognize the same certain unalienable rights, because they no longer support The Creator!. 

I've watched enough "Law & Order" to know that I have a right to an attorney. :pleased:

Pretty great read here for someone looking into AIWB carry (nws)   https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?120-AIWB-%28Appendix-Carry%29    Been carrying this way for about 3 years. It does demand absolute commitment to safety and awareness, IMO.    

Professional picture sent to me by Dave of our two tone Bladed TGO TR4. I absolutely love this one, Keep in mind you have until the end of October to pay for your orders, I guarantee you this knife will never be offered again, this will be a very special blade

  A 9mm won't even hurt your nuts. A .45 will blow them plumb off

He's got the face for it.

If you own one, how do you like it?  If you got rid one one, why?  I own a few of their steel guns and am looking to go plastic.   Thanks.    

Wow. I like watching funny videos before going to bed. That takes the cake tonight. Seriously, the dumbest, most dangerous, idiotic, stupidest, horrible firearm accessory ever devised. Maybe one of you will buy Voldemort one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the students need to take the boys behind the woodshed, or field house in this instance, and demonstrate southern discipline.

Excellent video, probably the most concise and through I've viewd on assembling an AR lower. You;ve really got me intrested in a TA Clear lower now. :up:   Whenever you want to get together and put together a video on some old school handguns and rifles shoot me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. At the rate of progression your exhibiting you are likely to become a professional firearms videographer.

You did well man, :up: :usa:

Look what dad dug out of his safe today during our visit.... Pretty cool! They sure we're cheaper back then too!

What is a "right"? A specific legal guarantee or set of legal guarantees for individuals with relation to their government.   Where do they come from? A political system that recognizes, codifies, and protects them.   How do you exercise them? By using them as they are needed or desired.  Also by accepting & protecting their use by others regardless of personal feelings, and defending them when they are threatened by any process other than the established method to change or eliminate them as part of the political process.   What are their limiting factors? Unless otherwise prescribed in the laws that establish them, when they interfere with the exercise of the rights of others is the standard default for their limits.   Do you still possess them if prevented from exercising them? If they are guaranteed under law, they you still possess them, even if you are being denied them or they are being prohibited.  An individual actions can forfeit their rights if convicted by a legal process, such as is the case with imprisonment.   Can you have a right to a thing? If prescribed by law that establishes the right, yes.   Can you have a right to a service? If prescribed by law that establishes the right, yes.

After getting several pistols it's time to feed the knife addiction again.  I'll be waiting to see what options become available.

A couple of aliens landed in the Arizona desert………… near a gas station that was closed for the night.   They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader." The gas pump, of course, didn't respond. The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, 'I'd calm down if I were you.' The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response. Angry at the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said gruffly, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader or I will fire!" The older alien again warned his comrade saying, 'You probably don't want to do that! I really think that will make him mad.' 'Rubbish,' replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon and opened fire. There was a huge explosion. A massive fireball roared towards him and blew the younger alien off his feet and threw him in a burnt, smoking mess about 200 yards away in a cactus patch. Half an hour passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he refocused his three eyes, straightened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien who was standing over him shaking his big, green head. 'What a ferocious creature!' exclaimed the young, fried alien. 'He almost killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?' The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replied, 'If there's one thing I've learned during my intergalactic travels, you never mess with a guy who can loop his penis over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear.'  

  Bass Pro in Memphis had Easton XX75 last weekend.  I assume other Bass Pros have them, too. 

Call Butch at A-H Reloading.  he has a used on sitting on his counter but it had a BUNCH of extra shell plates and dies   Google for A-H in nashville.

I just got my Salvo a few weeks ago too.   Be sure and try the winchester subsonic loads.  It's super quiet and fun although it doesn't cycle the action on my benelli.    I feel like it is too long in 12" configuration for my 24" benelli.  I plan on ordering an 8" rod kit to try.

King Biscuit Flower Hour... that brings back some memories!  Had forgot about that til you mentioned it.  Made me look on eBay to see if any records were still out there. There's a few, but not cheap.  As much as $250! :stunned:

It's hard to look like you don't have anything but I'm working on it.

It really is that good. Not a lot in there but all the love she adds gives it something you just can't buy.

They are checking response times as well as what units responded. Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows you MUST know your enemy and what their capabilities are. By doing this they now know how many officers are on campus. They also know how long the response will likely be during an attack. They now know likely avenues of approach by LE as well as how many will respond. If I were a betting person I would bet that school will be involved in something a lot more serious at some point. There is absolutely no reason for a couple of middle eastern men to be actively trying to get a response from law enforcement other than preparing for a real attack. The guys who were arrested are likely clean, as far as terrorist ties and criminal record, so they will likely have the charges and bond reduced but that won't matter because they will make bond quickly and likely be involved long before they go to trial. If I had children in that school they would be starting their homeschooling Monday.

While I was there in the '70's they always had a nice one. Neat show.

  Well the Sheriff made a comment about the "black life's matter" which ended with him saying "cop life's matter" . Needless to say said Sheriff's comment wasn't appreciated by the local spokesman for the BLM movement.  Said Sheriff's now been accused of politicizing the incident. Go figure all this talk about killing police by black agitators and what happens when a Sheriff whose had a Deputy murdered is plain spoken in his response?   

I could care less about grammer. Its less important then the messages thierself. And if u don't like your a "punk".

Part of the fun is trying new things! Go to a range that has a variety to rent, Nashville Armory is nice. Rent different ones, unless you get a super magnum revolver and don't hold it firmly you will be fine. I had always heard the .44magnum was heavy recoiling and all that. Then my buddy got one as a gift, a Ruger Super Blackhawk 7 1/2". He let me shoot it and while it did have some recoil it was VERY fun! Me personally, I don't care for shooting .22lr much anymore, part of shooting for me is the sound and recoil, 9mm minimum. Worst thing that could happen is you don't like it and go back to your .22

You're ready to move up. Don't feel like you're limited to 9mm. Find a gun that feels right in your hand, regardless of the caliber.   A 38 special revolver can be a good choice for a novice, especially since you're accustomed to shooting a revolver.  Lots of guys on TGO carry 38 specials or it's big brother, the 357. You can shoot 38 special rounds in a 357... a nice advantage to owning a 357.    I'd suggest you avoid really small guns. They're harder to aim, kick more, and jam easier. i.e., the LCP, TCP, P3-AT and the super light 9mm handguns. Great little guns, but they require extra experience to shoot well. ...oh, and they're not fun to shoot, in my opinion.    I'd also suggest that you avoid full sized guns. They look impressive, but they are heavier and harder to conceal. A good gun that you will carry daily is better than a great gun at home in a drawer.   Finally, I'd suggest you avoid Glocks. They're great handguns, but the trigger pull is short and light... not a good combination for a novice.  

I've researched it and decided against that mode of carry.

I gave it a thought...(with an unloaded gun)...I decided against it.   Personally, even if I was confident that I would never holster/unholster the weapon from that position, the mere fact it is basically pointing at your femoral artery when sitting down was a big enough reason to make me decide never. Lots of people carry this way, but it isn't for me. It was unnerving even with an unloaded gun. I would not be able to be mentally comfortable knowing that I had a loaded gun pointed at my groin/artery. 

Meh. Imho, an average adult with firearms familiarity and no severe handicap should pretty much be able to shoot anything within reason. Go getcha sumthin bigger and have fun! Btw, my first gun was a 40, and I had fired precisely one round out of a shotgun 10 years prior. I had never held a handgun in my life until I bought it. No biggie.

  LOL. Ain't it the truth? :pleased:       Excellent advice. Yes...and No...But there is inherent danger in carrying a firearm period. I've carried appendix daily for 15+ years. I am very cognizant of what I am am doing when reholstering. But that holds true whether appendix, strong side, or crossdraw. How does that saying go? "We should be fast to draw, but hesitant in reholstering". I've seen several gunshot wounds to lower extremities (legs) from careless reholstering....fingers on trigger, clothing caught up in the trigger guard. Inattentive "speed reholstering", no matter position carried, can lead to disastrous results. When I am reholstering my Glock 19 I tend to somewhat lean back averting the muzzle away from my manberries. It's not an exaggerated motion or anything, and is ingrained into what I do.   In my experience in ECQC, FOF, and weapon retention training and classes, I've found the appendix position to work best for me.   As far as comfort goes, I've found a purpose designed holster to work best. I am wearing a Dale Fricke Archangel at the moment and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. I also have a Phlster holster for my 9mm Shield. Both of these were designed with appendix carry in mind. They allow a small amount of movement laterally when sitting which helps where comfort is concerned, yet the grip remains constant and readily accessible. I carry between the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. It works well for me and my body-type.   Some will argue that a double action mechanism handgun is preferred for safety reasons. I can't fault their position. It's a choice we each have to make. I'm good with mine.   btw...there's several of us in the Knoxville area that carry appendix. :cool:         http://dalefrickeholsters.com/product/archangel-appendix-carry/   http://www.phlster.com/#!store/c2271

This one was supposed to have a Black Blade and Black hardware ( Special Edition) but I like it and may keep it and get the other as well, it is a very cool knife

Sorry to hear about the Bersa. I've been a big fan of them since I bought their .380 about 10+ years ago. I know i'll likely get berated for this, but my current mouse gun is the Taurus TCP, and it's great. Never had a misfire, and it's a great size when you absolutely have to stay concealed. That being said, you might consider the Ruger LC9. Almost as small, and you get a boost in ammo size.

Something feels hokey about the video. The guy walks up and points his gun and no one notices. I can only assume the weapon wasn't charged and he pulls back to load it. Then he fires multiple times and the gal takes off running. I understand fight or flight adrenaline but most humans will fall especially an injured lady. Not making light or calling bs on a situation where someone obviously died, it just feels off. Either way, sad. Very sad. When do we white folk riot? We're this the other way around.....oh never mind.

But I guess Trinity has no problem with Wal-Mart selling R-rated movies, violent video games, or pornographic chick-lit paperbacks?

In my mind, that isn't trolling for a sucker.  The proper description would be dishonest scumbags looking to take advantage of folks who are less informed than them.   I like what my buddy Bill said the other day, 'Character is how you treat people that are at a lower level than you, whether lower power, a subordinate, or someone with less knowledge than you."   All of us are less informed at times.  I simply have no respect for taking advantage of others.

Yep. Currency becomes guns, ammo, food, etc. Luxury items like liquor, coffee, etc. Some people think things like gold and silver become the currency, but that doesn't come until later when some form of civilization starts to be restored.

That was great!       Ever hear Sungha Jung play?  You should like this little fellar.  He has hundreds of video on youtube.  I have all his albums autographed, I ordered them from Korea.   He even makes crappy songs good!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmplmxwE2WM

I'm really not a fan of stippling but what you have done looks both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I like it!
